Modern technology, automation, and robotization have dramatically revolutionized our everyday lives. Artificial intelligence has made it possible to perform tasks that previously seemed challenging or inaccessible to machines.
One of the areas where technology has had a huge impact is the healthcare industry. Innovations in healthcare are developing at an unprecedented speed.
Keeping pace with technology change, Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, developed the Health Cloud, a patient relationship management solution for the healthcare and life sciences industry.
Since its launch in 2015, the Health Cloud functionality has been significantly expanded through both out-of-the-box features and ready-to-install apps and solutions available on the Salesforce AppExchange.
A keyword search for “healthcare” on the Salesforce AppExchange offers over 160 apps and bolt solutions with at least some connection to healthcare.
